Recipe: Almond Joy Coconut Cheesecake
Summary: If you like Almond Joy candy bars like I do, I’m betting that you will love this cheesecake! It is loaded with almonds and coconut. I toasted the coconut, and it adds great flavor and crunch. It is also in the crust, which adds another depth of flavor. I added extra to the top for garnish, but that is totally optional.
